Sniffing v snooping

snoop i can't understand

Who calls this sniffing? I recommend the page be renamed bus snooping, as no one uses the term sniffing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.17.251.235 (talk) 08:15, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal 2012-07-26

I propose that 'Snoopy Cache' be merged into 'Bus sniffing'. I think that the content in the 'Snoopy Cache' article can easily be explained in the context of 'Bus sniffing', and the 'Bus sniffing' article is of a reasonable size that the merging of 'Snoopy Cache' will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. →gab 24dot grab← 16:40, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge – Snoopy Cache: "a snoopy cache is a type of memory cache that performs bus sniffing [aka snooping]." Bus Snooping: "Bus snooping or bus sniffing is a scheme by which a coherency controller (snooper) in a cache monitors or snoops the bus " Snoopy cache adds no new context or information.

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 22:06, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

confusing

The article is not to the point.
It is about cache management not BUS sniffing.
See Cache coherence->Cache coherence mechanisms->Snooping for a good explanation for BUS sniffing aka snooping. --Jangirke (talk) 22:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Doubt on formatting

Hi everyone. I noticed that in section "How it works" there is a direct link to a website (specifically, https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Development-Tools/what-is-the-difference-between-cache-invalidate-and-cache-flush/td-p/74654). I was about to replace it with a reference containing that link, but then I thought that this way the "blue link" would disappear, making its relevance less obvious. What should I do? --Alessandro Bertulli (talk) 10:57, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
